+1 for keeping conflicts of interest at a minimum.

However, I would also agree with the "If no one does step up..." clause.
Too much work stands to be lost if no one will pick up the QA on a patch,
and we need to have some sort of mechanism to keep that from happening.
(Not to mention that some work is a real chore to keep rebased against the
current master.)

On a second thought, perhaps we should entertain some sort of time/date
sequential procedure whereby the QA team would QA in order of severity
sub-sorted by date of general sign-off or some such in order to ensure that
no signed-off patch is left out.

Perhaps if no member of the QA team feels "qualified" to QA a given patch,
the QAM could "deputize" another disinterested community member to do the
work.

Just thinking out loud here.

Kind Regards,
Chris
